the past century these have gradually been falsely re-imagined as "arches," "archways," and "pump house entrances," "boiler house entrances," or even "mine entrances." Large scale mining ceased during World War I, though the extraction of gold from many heaps of mullock (waste material from the mines), using cyanide, lasted much longer. Much of the gravel from the leads and reefs was removed for construction. Miners gradually moved away to other areas with ore or coal mining and onto other employment in New South Wales, particularly Broken Hill, or Western Australia, Queensland, New Zealand, or South Africa. Many moved to cities and the areas to the north of Victoria, particularly those settlements along the Maryborough to Mildura railway line, which had benefitted from the 1910 sale of Crown Land along its Murrayville-Pinnaroo branch. Many buildings were relocated by jinker to Maryborough or to developing farming areas, some over long distances. In 1926, a memorial to the large number of local men who had volunteered to serve in World War I was erected in Bowenvale. Not long after, a new Catholic Church was erected diagonally opposite it in Timor. These addresses represented the naming split across the middle of the community. A storm on New Year's Eve in 1960 severely damaged both the Community Hall and the Church of England Church in Bowenvale, which were then demolished. The community replaced the Hall but not the Church. The last hotel in the area, The Victoria in Bowenvale, closed in April 1961, and the last store, in Timor, closed in 1997. The Primary School, S.S.1207, had its weatherboard extension removed in 1937, but remains open. Points of interest The landscape of Timor includes residential and agricultural buildings as well as evidence of the area's mining past, including depressions created by former mines as well as puddling machines, cellars and wells, substantial dams and drainage channels, eroded mullock heaps, and sports facilities. Two huge wet-mine beam-pump fulcrums, one granite and the other basalt, commonly referred to as "the arches," mark the sites of their former mines on either side of the Bet Bet Creek. Located on the Timor-Bowenvale border is the 1926 Great War memorial, without names; a substantial 1880 school building which houses the small district primary school, Timor S.S.1207; a former late 1920s solid-brick Catholic church; a Bills horse trough; and the now-closed general store-post office, the oldest part being built in 1870-71.
